St. David fell to earth today
and the people gathered 'round
Eyes open wide, he didn't move
He didn't make a sound

They tried to help him to his feet
but his wings were torn and broken
And his empty eyes shed the tears
of the words he should have spoken

Father, Father,
I think I'm fallin down
can You catch me now
I'm fallin
Can You hear me callin
callin out
cuz I'm so afraid
that I won't make a sound.

They left him shattered in the rain
left him screaming at the walls
like before when they left him
with noone to break the fall

But they didn't think he needed it
they never even noticed
that the spirit of this one so strong
saw his life as but a token

And now his song was just a whisper
Heard him mumble through the pain
And as the tears streamed from his eyes
I thought I heard him sayin

Father, Father
I think I'm fallin down
can You catch me now
I'm fallin
Can You hear me callin
callin out
cuz I'm so afraid
that I won't make a sound.

I kept wondering why that frisbee kept getting bigger and bigger....and then it hit me.

I can find no fault!
A very interesting poem. Since his wings are broken I suppose he is a angel.
I have to think about this poem.
I will respond later.
